hmmm I think Dana should be considered but I don't know about Anderson. Really just because the topic is most _influential_, and while Dana actually has a lot of influence on many things, Anderson pretty much just shows up, fights, and goes home, he doesn't really have much influence, even though he has an overwhelming abundance of skill.

If the question was "most amazing athletes" I'd have to say yeah, throw him up there.

I somewhat agree...but Anderson will soon be influencing you into buying Bud Light

1. Jesus2. Me3. Oprah Winfrey (Don't say it. I know.)4. The dude who produced "Two Girls/One Cup". Takes a mad genius to get that many people to watch two chicks eating feces and vomit.5.

i expected this thread to be serious, but ya'll are cracking me up... btw.. i dont like bud light either. if Jesus said "go forth unto the mini mart and bringeth unto me a case of long neck." I'd have to tell no.
